- What is a pollinator? - Pollinators (U. S. National Park Service)
A pollinator is anything that helps carry pollen from the male part of the flower (stamen) to the female part of the same or another flower (stigma) The movement of pollen must occur for the plant to become fertilized and produce fruits, seeds, and young plants
- Pollinator - Wikipedia
A pollinator is an animal that moves pollen from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma of a flower [1] This helps to bring about fertilization of the ovules in the flower by the male gametes from the pollen grains
- Who Are the Pollinators? - US Forest Service
Pollinators visit flowers in search of food, mates, shelter and nest-building materials The energy that powers pollinator growth, metamorphosis, flight and reproduction comes from sugars in nectar, and the proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals from pollen grains

A pollinator is any animal or insect that spreads pollen from one flower to another This means that nearly any creature can be a pollinator from time to time

Here we provide an overview of these five main groups of insect pollinators—including their life cycles, habitat requirements, and conservation needs For further reading, check out our page about endangered pollinators Honey bees (Apis spp ) may be the most well-known, but they represent a tiny fraction of all bee species!
- Species We Study: Pollinators | U. S. Geological Survey
Ecosystems—whether agricultural, urban, or natural—depend on pollinators, great and small Pollinators in the form of bees, birds, butterflies, bats, and even moths provide vital, but often invisible services, from contributing to biodiverse terrestrial wildlife and plant communities to supporting healthy watersheds Pollinator declines worldwide have been noted as land-use and climate
- Major types of pollinators: Insects, Birds, Mammals, Examples . . .
Read on to learn about some of the major types of pollinators and the “pollinator syndromes” (suites of flower traits) of the plants that depend on those pollinators
- What is a pollinator? - Butterfly Pavilion
A pollinator is an animal that transfers pollen between the anther of one flower to the stigma of another, helping the plant produce seeds These animals (including species of bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, ants, bats, birds, and even some small mammals) visit the flowers to feed on the nectar or pollen, and consequently fertilize the plant
